متن کاملA heuristic for morpheme discovery based on string edit distance
This paper derives from work we have been doing on unsupervised learning of the morphology of languages with rich morphologies, that is, with a high average number of morphemes per word. Our focus in this paper is Swahili, a major Bantu language of East Africa, and our goal is the development of a system that can automatically produce a morphological analyzer of a text on the basis of a large c...

Performance analysis of sub-word language modeling for under-resourced languages with rich morphology : case study on Swahili and Amharic This paper investigates the impact on ASR performance of sub-word units for two underresourced african languages with rich morphology (Amharic and Swahili). Two subword units are considered : syllable and morpheme, the latter being obtained in a supervised or...

In Swahili there is no semantic or lexical class of objects for which object marking is obligatory, nor is there any class for which it is impossible. The numerous earlier studies of the object marker have discovered no hard and fast rules for its distribution. Its usage has been found to c...
